I'm not sure whether the English translation really does this book justice. I also disliked the way the female characters were written (honestly 99.9% of them overly sexualised). I know that might be a trope of noir, perhaps, but it wasn't the book for me because of it.

Hard because the writing was good but the entire book is about how much men hate women…and it tries to make mutilating them spiritual and poetic
